I am a very hungry person who has too many thoughts about food and culture. I send out an infrequent email about food, Bay Area snacks, South and Southeast Asia, music, photography, or all of those things. Sometimes, there are recipes.

A Story about the Tandoori Club
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/my-tandoori-chicken-fan-club/
Published: April 16, 2024 22:13
When I was in college in Singapore, we had an official school 'foodie club' for people who went to nice restaurants together. I like nice restaurants too, and I went often (especially on dates!). But the kind of food adventure that excited me was of the…
A pineapple saga
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/a-pineapple-saga/
Published: February 17, 2024 20:08
Nose to tail? More like (pineapple) eye to rind. Lately, I've been thinking of how leaving 'home' (Singapore) to make another (San Francisco) in my mid / late 30sh has changed the way I eat, and think about food. For one, I've been exposed to some…
Year of the Dragon
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/year-of-the-dragon/
Published: February 5, 2024 21:07
Growing up in Singapore as I did, Lunar New Year was a mildly irritating affair. Christmas music bled into two months of ceaseless of Chinese New Year music. Other than the dong dong chiang that hurt my ears, the lyrics seemed to always be only about one…
All about Congee
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/all-about-congee/
Published: October 24, 2023 22:00
Congee, rice porridge, jook, khao tom, bubur, beh, muay: no matter what you call it, adding water or broth to rice is a delicious and frugal way to stretch out grains, while bringing plenty of comfort and joy. I love congee. When I first moved to San…
Three cups of tea

Published: September 3, 2023 22:56
I'm something of a caffeine nut (as my forever username, 'skinnylatte' hints at). One of the best things about having had the opportunity of traveling to and living all over the world has been how I've been able to drink so many types of wonderful…
Surprisingly delicious baklava in SF
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/surprisingly-delicious-baklava-in-sf/
Published: August 2, 2023 22:36
I really love baklava. In the late '00s and early '10s, I spent most of my time in the Middle East where I was spoilt silly with some of the best food, especially dessert. There is truly nothing like the freshness and skill of a centuries-old baklava or…
Mango Mela

Published: May 5, 2023 21:26
If you have ever spent any time with people from South Asia, you'll find that mangoes are talked about a lot. Especially between April and August each year. There's a good reason why so much diaspora writing about South Asia is about mangoes. They're…
Hello, BAE
https://buttondown.com/skinnylatte/archive/hello-bae/
Published: April 17, 2023 20:31
What's BAE? In late 2022, I started a Twitter community of the same name. It featured the food and snacks of the Bay Area that I enjoyed, but it also had posts about 'what to eat when you visit Singapore' and 'what type of rice I like to buy from Asian…
